As metal continued to evolve, new genres like metalcore and nu metal popped up. In the late 1970s, bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest stripped heavy metal of most of its blues influence and, merging it with punk sensibility, creating the New Wave of British Heavy Metal Heavy metal music is generally fast, powerful and loud. Heavy metal guitar is heavy distorted. Rhythm guitarists play very fast palm-muted style guitar, while lead guitarists play riffs. Heavy metal bassists play root notes or follow the guitar, providing the extreme low end sound that gives the genre its "heavy" name. Heavy metal drummers play extremely fast and repetitious beats.
